Simone Montalto @simonemontalto.bsky.social · 04/12/2025There is a common belief that the best design is always the simplest one. But simplicity can become its own form of complexity when it hides structure instead of clarifying it. Minimal does not always mean intuitive. 100 0
Simone Montalto @simonemontalto.bsky.social · 04/12/2025I once simplified a part of an interface by removing options and hiding details behind a single button. Visually it looked cleaner. Functionally it felt lighter. But the moment users tried it, confusion increased. They were unsure what the button really did. 100 0
Simone Montalto @simonemontalto.bsky.social · 04/12/2025The problem was not the UI. The problem was that the workflow itself was not simple. By trying to compress it into fewer controls, I only obscured the steps. Users lost orientation, not complexity. 100 0
